That is quite a pair. Our 09 S is an amazing car. It is night and day different than our 97. Love both cars. I need to bring my 'A' game for the 09. The 97 is just simple fun.

The 987.2's also get the same size brakes as the S model and you don't need to do anything funky to the oil sump to handle track days. The steering is a bit overdamped at speed, IMHO...almost like they were trying too hard.

The suspension on the base model is much stiffer than the 986...more like a 986 S. It seems to transmit more road noise, unfortunately. Even with the extra layer, the top doesn't seem any quieter...but it isn't the main source of noise anyway, the tires are.
